Instead of backing away from the fight, the North Vietnamese
mortar, recoilless rifle, heavy machine gun, sapper and regular
infantry attacks increased. The last offensive around Ripcord was
starting to look like the last stand. Unwilling to keep American
soldiers at high risk at this stage of the war; Ripcord was
evacuated on 23 July. The battle went unnoticed for 30 years until
Keith Nolan's book, "RIPCORD," was published. As powerful and
gripping as was the story of great leadership and courageous
fighting by our soldiers, the magnitude of the enemy force still
remained unknown. The author, the 3rd Brigade commander during the
siege and evacuation, made trips to Vietnam in 2001 and 2004 and
interviewed the 324B Division Commander whose first-ever division
sole mission, was to destroy Firebase Ripcord. The full story is
now told.
